WHY THREADED FASTENERS? There are several ways of securing parts and components to each other, e.g. gluing, riveting, welding and soldering. However, by far the most common method of joining compo- nents is to use a screw to clamp the joint members with a nut or directly to a threaded hole in one of the components. The advantages of this method are the simplicity of design and assembly, easy disassembly, productivity and in the end – cost. 2. THE SCREW JOINT A screw is exposed to tensile load, to torsion and sometimes also to a shear load. The stress in the screw when the screw has been tightened to the design extent is known as the pre-stress. The tensile load corresponds to the force that clamps the joint members together. External loads which are less than the clamping force will not change the tensile load in the screw. On the other hand, if the joint is exposed to higher external loads than the pre-stress in the bolt the joint will come apart and the tensile load in the screw will naturally increase until the screw breaks. 4 POCKET GUIDE TO TIGHTENING TECHNIQUE Tensile load Clamping force Shear load Shear load Shear load and tensile load. Tensile load Torsion in the screw results from friction between the threads in the screw and the nut. Some screws are also exposed to shear loads which occur when the external force slides the members of the joint in relation to each other perpendicular to the clamping force. In a properly designed joint the external shear force should be resisted by the friction between the components. A joint of this kind is called a friction joint. If the clamping force is not sufficient to create the friction needed, the screw will also be exposed to the shear load. Joints are frequently designed for a combination of tensile and shear loads. The screw is made up of the shank and the head. The shank is threaded, either for part of its length or for the full length from the end to the head. Longer screws are usually only partly threaded. There is no need to make a thread longer than is necessary to tighten the joint as this will only make the screw more expensive and reduce the tensile strength. The dimensions of threads, the shape of the thread and the pitch, i.e. the distance between successive threads, have been standardized. In practice there are only two different stand- Basic screw design. ards used today in industry; the Unified standard UN, origi- nally used in the Anglo-Saxon countries, and the European Metric standard M. POCKET GUIDE TO TIGHTENING TECHNIQUE 5 Apart from the basic dimensional differences the UN and M standards have different angles and depths of thread. Both standards include separate specifications for fine threads. The UN fine thread standard UNF is quite common parallel to the normal UNC type. Pitch = mm/rotation 3. CLAMPING FORCE In general it is desirable that the screw is the weakest member of the joint. An over-dimensioned screw makes the product both heavier and unnecessarily expensive. As a standard screw is usually comparatively inexpensive it is preferable that the screw should be the first part to break. Furthermore, in most cases the dimensions of the screw are not critical for the quality of the joint. What is decisive is the clamping force, i.e. whether it is sufficient to carry all the load for which the joint is designed, and whether the joint will re- main tight enough to prevent loosening if exposed to pulse loads. The problem is that there is no practical way to measure the clamping force in normal production situations. Consequently the value of the clamping force is usually referred to as the tightening torque. As the clamping force is a linear function of both the turning angle of the screw and the pitch of the thread, there is a direct relation between the clamping force and the tightening torque within the elastic range of the screw elongation. However, only about 10% of the torque applied is transferred into clamping force. The remaining tightening force is consumed in friction in the screw joint – 40% of the torque to overcome the friction in the thread and 50% in friction under the screw head. 6 POCKET GUIDE TO TIGHTENING TECHNIQUE 4. EFFECT OF LUBRICATION If a screw is lubricated, the friction in the threads and under the head is decreased and the relation between tightening torque and clamping force is changed. If the same torque is applied as before lubrication, a lot more torque will be trans- formed into clamping force. At worst this might lead to the tension in the screw exceeding the tensile strength and break- ing of the screw. On the other hand, if the screw is completely dry of lubricant the clamping force might be too small to withstand the forces for which the joint is designed, with the risk that the screw becomes loose.

SCREW QUALITY CLASSIFICATION When a screw is tightened and the clamping force starts to build up, the material of the screw is stressed. After a short time when the thread settles the material will stretch in pro- portion to the force. In principle, this elongation will continue until the stress in the screw is equal to the tensile strength at which the screw will break. However, as long as the elon- gation is proportional to the stress the screw will regain its original length when the load is removed. This is known as the elastic area. Stress Yield point Failure Angular displacement At a certain stress, known as the yield point, plastic defor- mation of the material in the screw will occur. However, the screw will not break immediately. Torque will continue to increase but at a lower torque rate during the deformation above the yield point. The plastic deformation will result in a permanent elongation of the screw if the joint is loosened. For very accurate clamping force requirements this area is sometimes deliberately specified for the tightening process. Beyond the plastic area breakage occurs. 8 POCKET GUIDE TO TIGHTENING TECHNIQUE M-Threaded screwbolts Tightening torque Nm, according to ISO 898/1 The material qualities of screws are standardized, i.e. the amount of tensile stress they can be exposed to before the yield point is reached and before breakage occurs. All screws should be marked according to their Bolt Grade – a classifica- tion standard in a two-digit system where the first digit refers to the minimum tensile strength in 100 N/mm2 and the second digit indicates the relation between the yield point and the minimum tensile strength. For example: Bolt Grade 8.8 desig- nates a screw with 800 N/mm2 minimum tensile strength and a yield point of 0.8 x 800 = 640 N/mm2. Table 2. Table for different classes of screws.

  • A Machine with Few Or No Moving Parts. Simple Machines Make Work Easier
    Simple Machine: A machine with few or no moving parts. Simple machines make work easier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grWIC9VsFY4 Pulley 1.There are six simple machines. They make it easier for us to do work. A wheel pulley is one of the six simple machines. A pulley is a wheel with a rope wrapped around it. The wheel has a groove around the edge to hold the rope in place. You can attach one end of the rope to a heavy object that you want to lift. You will pull on the other end of the rope to lift the heavy object. Pulleys make work easier by changing the direction of the force needed to do work. It is hard to lift a heavy object up into the air. It is easier to pull the same object down to the ground. This is because of the force of gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects down to the Earth. Gravity helps to make work easier when you use a pulley. You can also use more than one pulley at a time to make the work even easier. The weight will feel lighter with each pulley that you use. If you use two pulleys, it will feel like you are pulling one-half as much weight. If you use four pulleys, it will feel like you are pulling one-fourth as much weight! The weight will be easy to move, but you will have more rope to pull with each pulley that you add. You will pull twice as much rope with two pulleys.

  • Stepper Motor Linear Actuators Pre-Engineered Lead Screw Assemblies and Actuators for Precision Applications
    Stepper Motor Linear Actuators Pre-engineered lead screw assemblies and actuators for precision applications www.thomsonlinear.com Stepper Motor Linear Actuator Assemblies Combining cutting-edge motor and lead screw technologies Thomson offers three basic configurations – rotating screw (MLS), rotating nut (MLN) and actuator (MLA). The open architecture rotating screw and rotating nut motorized lead screws suit applications where external guidance is present or a high level of design flexibility is required, while the closed assembly of the motorized lead screw actuator is ideal to further simplify the design process and remove requirements for external guidance. Technology Overview Rotating screw assemblies actuate by having the motor rotate a lead screw and translate a load that is attached to the lead nut. Rotating nut assemblies actuate by rotating a nut within the motor body. Motion is achieved by constraining the motor and translating a load attached to the lead screw or constraining the lead screw and translating a load attached to the motor. Rotating Screw Configuration MLS The rotating screw design, which is ideal for rapid prototyping, features our patented Taper-Lock design to connect the lead screw to the motor shaft. It is best suited for applications where high levels of maintenance are anticipated, frequent disassembly/reassembly is required, or easy removal of the lead screw is necessary. Customers also can consider field serviceability for this configuration. Rotating Nut Configuration MLN The rotating nut design features our patented integration of a lead nut into the motor rotor to maximize screw diameter, which increases load capacity. It is ideally suited for applications where no visible rotation is desired or where it is necessary to translate a load on either side of the motor.

  • The History of the Screw
    The history of the screw From early historical times up to the 20th century Screws and nuts have become common objects used throughout the world and they are often used lavishly. Modern screws are real high-tech products and the path to them becoming mass-produced articles has a long history behind it. By the way: We always say that the nut is female and not male and this expression was actually used in the Krünitz encyc- lopaedia published in 1800. Technical differences exist between rotating and securing threads and they result from the flank shape and the angle, as contrary requirements exist Jewelery with screws for rotating or securing tasks. Today the following description for a screw is listed by Brockhaus as fol- lows: “Screw; a fixture made from steel, copper, brass or light metal used to produce a removable connection; it consists of a cylindrical head, has a threaded shaft and the nut used with it has an internal thread and this nut must be tightened up or undone using a wrench.” The word "screw" now has a permanent place in the language that we Roman speculum at 50 a.D. use every day: “Eine Schraube locker haben” and “Erwartungen zurück- schrauben” and “geschraubte Rede” (used during the 18th century) are terms used in German, which loosely mean “to have a screw loose”, “ex- pectations have been retracted, i.e. unscrewed” and “stilted or convoluted speech” in English. The word “screw” is also used whenever something has to be tightened up, undone, unscrewed or screwed in. Early historical times Helixes or spiral structures are often found in nature in their natural forms.
